Working with StoryBoards:


Assignment #3--The PSA
  • What is a PSA? (you need to know the definition for the final exam so pay attention)
    • Example 1:
    • Example 2:
    • The assignment Part A
      • Create a 10 shot (max of 10 shots) PSA if you are working alone. You MUST have a variety of shots (An establishing Shot, A long shot, A Medium shot, A close up)
        • You may work in a group of TWO (NO MORE) but you must have 15 shots for your PSA
      • Remember what you see is in the box and what you hear is written on the lines
      • Your PSA must inform about something and in 10 shots that must be clear (refer to the examples)
      • Turn it into Mrs. Ferris for approval. DO NOT MOVE on to Part B without approval
    • The assignment Part B
      • Once your PSA has been approved you need to bring it to life. This can be through asking classmates, filming it outside of school, using drawing/animations and filming that or even using dolls or Lego figures. You are limited by your creativity for this assignment.
        • Everyone must submit a 10 shot PSA AFTER your storyboard has been approved.
        • I have cameras you can use or you can use your phone

Assignment #2

  • Select a fairy tale and who is going to tell the story.
    • o This should be different from the original (example-the Wolf from Tuesday)
  • Summarize it so that you can storyboard in EXACTLY 11 SHOTS (this might mean it is only PART of the entire story)
    • o You Need to include: An establishing Shot, A long shot, A Medium shot, A close up, A shot with 2 or more characters in it
    • o The remaining shots are up to your creativity.
    • o It must be in COLOR and drawn (stick figures are OK)
      • § Someone picking up your storyboard should be able to direct and film the story and know who is in which scene and what they are wearing, holding, standing near (etc.)
  • Write an audio track/script with sound effects in the lines below the storyboard frames.
    • o Remember, if it is something someone is speaking, it should be in “ “
  • Turn in your storyboard to Mrs. Ferris

Assignment #1


  • Get 1 Storyboard sheet from the table by the printer
  • Using this PowerPoint, create a NOTESHEET for the types of shots and angles
  • You do not have to be the best artist but your notes need to have COLOR and show the correct shot/angle (you can use stick figures)
  • If you absolutely do not want to draw, you can find images in the class magazines and paste them onto the StoryBoard
    • Label each type of shot/angle (with the full name and abbreviation)
    • When ALL 10 are done, come and show it to Mrs. Ferris for credit.
